Christian Education Highlights
5-Week Parenting Series Kicks Off
Join us February 5 - March 4 for a parenting series led by child development experts. This series is geared towards parents, grandparents, and anyone with an interest in child rearing. You can come to one or all of the classes.
The first class is "The Parent/Child Relationship: A Gift from God", led by educational consultant Katherine Lunde, who has worked with children, their parents, and their schools for nearly 40 years. Her session will guide parents to seriously reflect on the meaning of Psalm 127: "No doubt about it: children are a gift from the Lord; the fruit of the womb is a divine reward." Sunday's class is in the Chapel at 9:30.
For more information on this series, visit our Parenting Series page.
Responding the the Plight of Orphans and Vulnerable Children in Africa Nancy and Frank Dimmock, our PC(USA) missionaries in Lesotho, Africa, are on furlough this year and living in Decatur, Georgia. Nancy is the founder of the Crisis Nursery that our church helps support through our Malawi Christmas Tree giving. The Crisis Nurseries in Lilongwe and Mzuzu take babies who are orphaned byAIDS and are in medical crisis and care for them until they can be placed with adoptive families.
Nancy will speak briefly during the 8:15 and 11 a.m. church services on February 5. She will also lead a Sunday School class at 9:30 in Jubilee Hall B.
We are called and urged to be more knowledgeable about the needs in God's world. What better way for us to become knowledgeable about this great ministry of hope and promise than to come and listen and see pictures that Nancy has to share about her work in Lesotho and Malawi. New POLO Series POLO (Parents of Little Ones) begins a new series, "Healthy Marital Relationships," on February 5 in N228. Rev. Michael Smith from the Dallas Pastoral Counseling and Education Center will lead the sessions. "One of the best gifts that parents can give their children is a healthy marital relationship. In these sessions, we will look at commitment, communication, anger/conflict management and intimacy issues in committed long-term relationships. We will focus on the 'emotional and spiritual processes' that go on in a couple's relationship, on positive understanding and encouraging change, and not on blaming/shaming."
